Indiana Hoosiers head coach Tom Crean dropped some gum on the floor during Thursday's NCAA basketball game against Sam Houston State, but had absolutely no qualms about picking up the gum and putting it right back in his mouth.

Crean explained himself on Twitter and used the opportunity to pander to the faithful Indiana fans:

The gum I dropped tonight was a fresh piece of Dentyne Ice. No 5 second rule was in effect.
